In general I enjoy Sciascia as a writer as well-many of his novels are in print in good English translations. The English version is simply titled The Moro Affair and was released in a nice paperback edition by the New York Review of Books classics series in 2004. One book that I found really interesting was Leonardo Sciascia's piece on the Moro kidnapping, which argued that some Christian Democrats were rather less-than-eager to actually find and save their party's president. I think it was Verso that brought out the English edition for those who read Italian, the novel is here: I think that Balestrini's The Unseen (Gli invisibili) does a fairly good job of capturing some of what it must have felt like for some young people on the far-Left during this period. The book whose cover you posted seems as though it could be interesting-wish my language skills were better. I'm wondering what sort of debunking Ugo Maria Tassinari has done, would you explain briefly in a sentence or two? I did a search and ran some stuff through Google Translate, he seems to be on the radical-/far- Right and particularly hostile towards antifa, is that a fair characterization? My knowledge on this matter is rather limited, especially as I don't have good Italian.
